ENG vs IND 2022: Top 10 funny memes from the 2nd ODI after England's clinical series-leveling win
England made a rousing comeback with a comprehensive victory in the second ODI against India at Lord's on Thursday (July 14) after a deflating loss in the previous game. Courtesy of their win, the series is poised evenly at 1-1, with a game to go.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and invited the opponents to bat first.
After the horror show that was the last match, the English openers put up a better performance. Jason Roy (23) and Jonny Bairstow (38) stitched together a 41-run stand for the first wicket, weathering Jasprit Bumrah's and Mohammad Shami's opening spells.
However, Hardik Pandya (2/28) and Yuzvendra Chahal (4/47) took wickets at regular intervals in the middle overs to peg the hosts back. England were struggling at 102/5 in the 22nd over, having lost all their top batters.
Moeen Ali (47), David Willey (41), and Liam Livingstone (33) chipped in with valuable contributions to lift England to a fighting total of 246.
In a tricky chase, Reece Topley and David Willey began the proceedings phenomenally for England with consecutive maiden overs.
As the pressure piled up, Rohit Sharma perished for a 10-ball duck in the third over. The left-arm pace duo's wonderful bowling display reduced Team India to 31/4 in the 12th over.
Suryakumar Yadav (27), Hardik Pandya (29), Ravindra Jadeja (29), and Mohammad Shami (23) tried to salvage the situation, but none of them could play a defining knock.
The two-paced nature of the pitch in the second innings made things difficult for them. Eventually, Team India were bundled out for 146 and lost the match by 100 runs.
Reece Topley (6/24) was the wrecker-in-chief for the hosts as he registered the best-ever ODI bowling figures for an English player.
